AIHW Bulletin on Intellectual Disability - 12 November 2008"People with intellectual disability encounter special challenges that are different from people with other types of disabilities in a number of important aspects. For example, they have difficulty learning and applying knowledge and in decision making. They may have difficulty identifying and choosing options at key life transition points. They often have difficulty adjusting to changed circumstances and unfamiliar environments and therefore need high support during times of change." Click here for a copy of the Bulletin. National Disability StrategyFaHCSIA website "The Strategy aims to address the barriers that are faced by Australians with disability and promote social inclusion. The Strategy will be an important mechanism in ensuring the principles underpinning the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, recently ratified by the government, are integrated into policies and programs affecting people with disability, their families and carers." NCID is developing a response to the discussion paper and will provide information as material is produced. The Strategy is being based on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. NCID will use the Articles of the Convention as the headings for the sections of our response.
